Left and right ventricular function in fetal tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve.

Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve (TOF/APV) is a rare form of congenital heart disease with a high risk of perinatal mortality, particularly when diagnosed before birth. We aimed to assess whether global left and right ventricular function in fetal TOF/APV, using the Tei index, correlate with outcome. We reviewed the fetal echocardiogram and… (More)
